Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1968-1969

I had previously posted an album of BBC sessions by Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity. Recently, I found a bunch of BBC performances that I'd previously missed. There were enough for me to split that album into two parts. The existing album has been renamed "Volume 1." This new album is "Volume 2." But both volumes contain a mix of previously posted songs with newly discovered ones. 

If you like this one, you surely will want to download the renamed and revised Volume 1 as well. Here's the link to that:

Volume 1 is a mix of actual BBC studio sessions and other some TV show appearances. But luckily Volume 2 is all BBC studio sessions, with everything officially unreleased. The vast majority are from the "Top of the Pops" radio show. However, tracks 3 through 6 are from the "Top Gear" show, hosted by John Peel. 

As is typical for Top of the Pops recordings from this time period, the sound quality is excellent. The only snag is the usual problem of BBC DJ Brian Matthew talking over the beginnings and ends of songs. I did my usual thing, using the UVR5 audio editing program to wipe his voice while keeping the underlying music, for all the songs with " [Edit]" in their titles. 

Note that a few songs here (tracks 7, 12, 13, and 14) are without Julie Driscoll and are labeled as such in the credits.

This album is 45 minutes long.

It's hard to find good photos of the entire band, so this time I had to resort to just a photo of lead singer Julie Driscoll. This one is from an appearance on the "Frost on Sunday" TV show in 1968.
